collie) tbey would be correct, but they are not; they stand 

 erect like a rabbit's and consequently ai-e not correct. Mr. 

 Fellows says hi 5< bobby is work, that it would have made 

 raigbtly Jiitle difference to him if the doe bad shown prick 

 ears, and that be gave the prize to the dog that he thought 

 could gn fastest and stay longest. This is the old safety 

 valve. When a "wrong 'un " gets into the money, no 

 matter what sort of head, neck, eyes, ears, tail or coat he 

 may have, the old plea of "work," the old rusty safety valve 

 that has saved eouctless mongrels, is put forward as an in- 

 dorsement of the award, Mr. Fellows must see that if this 

 sort of thing were permitted the judging of dogs would 

 cniickly become an utter impossibility. Any brute with a 

 characterless, half-bred head might win in the pointer or 

 setter class, for instance, Just because he had the appear- 

 ance of being a workman. 



The judging of horses, cattle, poultry, pigeons and every- 

 thing else in the way of live stock would^likewise, on the 

 Fellows plan, become impracticable, and in a very few years 

 there would be no uniformity of type and no exhibitions. 

 If, say, a thoroughbred horse should have a nasty, plain, 

 Carty-lookiog head and a short, thick neck, he might, if he 

 had body, legs and feet that looked like going and staying, 

 win over a quality .showing one that was, say, a bit light in 

 bone below the knee. The old safety valve would let him 

 through, and the principal blood characteristics would, if a 

 majority of the judges judged on the Fellows plan, be wiped 

 out in quick time. There would be nothing beautiful or 

 typical left to man. He would be surrounded by a world of 

 mongrels. No judge could possibly tell right from wrong 

 because there would be no such a thing as right. Mr. Fel- 

 lows would expect to win with a prick-eared cocker (picture 

 the brute) over a specimen that was half an inch too short 

 in legs, or with a long-faced beast, of the ant-eater type, 

 over a dog that was a bit heav^y in the shouldei'S. What 

 would be the result of all this at the end of five years, or per- 

 haps lessi' Simply this, that the work of a century would 

 be undone. One of the foremost of all reasons why Ameri- 

 cans have failed to breed typical dogs can be found in the 

 fact that bitches which would breed dogs equal to any in the 

 world are mated with any animal that can run fast. Mr. 

 Fellows's arguments are honest, but thev are dangerous.

CANADIAN CUSTOMS REGULATIONS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I sent you on Monday a marked copy of the Toronto Mrtii, 

 containing a letter of my own, calling public attention to an 

 absurd regulation issued lately by the Minister of Customs, 

 by which the dogs of American exhibitors would have had 

 to be returned at the close of every show to the point from 

 which they were despatched. This rule had it been persisted 

 in would have caused our fall bench shows to collapse 

 utterly, as it would have effectually prevented American ex- 

 hibitors from sending their dogs to Canada at all. 



I am at a loss to understand how the Customs authorities 

 here should have come to issue such an unheard of regula- 

 tion, for they must have seen very plainly that no dog 

 owner would submit to the risk, annoyance and expense of 

 having his animals sent backward and forward from point 

 to point for no purpose, just at a time when they most 

 needed rest and careful attention. 



Not only, however, was the obnoxious rule issued, but the 

 Minister of Customs, although repeatedly approached on the 

 subject, refused to alter it, and for a time we were of the 

 opinion that nothing further could be done. 



As a last resort, however, I wrote fully to the Minister ex- 

 plaining how inconvenient the new orders were, and I also 

 got the Hon. Senator Sanford (who is, by the way, not only 

 one of our greatest dog lovers here, but a man passcssed o'f 

 enormous influence with the Government at Ottawa) to 

 throw his weight in with the petition. I am glad now to 

 be able to state that bis efforts have been more than success- 

 ful, and as will be seen by the inclosed correspondence 

 matters have been settled to our entire satisfaction, not only 

 by the cancellation of the stupid order referred to, but by 

 the welcome provision that foreign dogs may be sent from 

 show to show in bond. 



This will be a great saving of trouble to foreign exhibitor's, 

 who can now take in the whole Canadian circuit, or any part 

 of it, without being harassed at every point by the Custom 

 House officials. This, I think, will be welcoone news and 

 well worth space in your columns. Your breeders and ex- 

 hibitors across the line can depend upon this new order of 

 things to a certainty, and now that all obstacles have been 

 removed from the way, ought to give us some rousing en- 

 tries in token of the big battle we have just fought in their 

 interests. A. D. Btewaet, 



President Hamilton Kennel Club.

 any unforpsppn difficulty ari=e in carrying out the intentions of

 purposes of the esbibitioa. I have the honor to b?. sir. your

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

 There is no charge for answering questions under 

 this head; we are always glad to give advice on the 

 care and management of dogs; and we shall make 

 this a special feature. 



P. H. H., St. Louis, Mo.— You do not state what breed the dogs 

 are. 



C. T. S„ Washington, D. C— Ca.n you please give me the pedi- 

 grees of the cocker spaniels Flirt III., Farrow's Minnie and Bul- 

 lock's Old Brbb? An?. We have no record of these dogs, as they 

 are not registered in E.K.C.S.B. 



J. S. R., Ottawa, O.— I want »o buy a book which gives full and 

 reliable information in regard to bird dogs, wbeie to get them 

 and how to train them. Ans. "The Scientific Education of tbe 

 Dog for the Gun,'" price ?3 50, or "Training vs. Breaking," pri- o 

 Si 00. We can supply I hem. 



J. R. H., Big Creek, Ky.-If you have Vol. IL, E.K.C.S.B. in your 

 library, please give me sire and dam of Bandit (4?58), and also the 

 number of Border Chief in same volume or "Vol. Jll , and his sire 

 and dam. Ans. Bandit, by Pride of the Border (4275) out of Nellie 

 (1.t33). Border Chiff is not rcQfistered. Border Chieft.iin is per- 

 haps the dog you mean. No. 10,126, Vol. VIII,, by Bandit (42-58) out 

 of Gilt, by Fred II. 



F. R., Danville, Pa.— I am tl e owner of a S-vcar-old greyhound 

 bitch, who has a running record of SOOyds. in 11% seconds (record 

 not registered). Will you please inform me in what way I must 

 proceed to have her raise pupa that can be entered as blooded 

 dogs or standard hfod. Am desirous of getting some bloodtddogs 

 from her that will sfll and do not know how to go about it. Ans. 

 \"our best plan would be to breed the bitch to some well bred and 

 noted dog. In the sflle of the pups a great deal, however, will de- 

 pend upon whether your bitch has a pedigree or not. Tlip mere 

 fact of her running fast for a short distance will not be likely to 

 advance the sale of the pups. 



T. B., Faircbild, Me.— Will you please tell me what to do for mv 

 hound bitch? She wh elped three pups last December, one died and 

 she weaned the other two. She was in beat the first of May. but 

 was not served. Her teats have never dried up as thev ought 

 to: for the last two weeks they have been full of milk and one of 

 fhem is badly caked. She appears stupid the first part of the day, 

 but brightens up and appears smart the rest of the time. Ans. 

 Draw off tbe milk twice a day and give the bitch a good purging 

 with syrup of buckthorn or castor oil. and give 3gre. of iodide of 

 potassium, in about two tahle=poonfuls of water, immediately 

 after feeding, also apply twice a day the following oinimpnl: 

 iodide of potassium, Idr.; powdered camphor, Idr.; strong mer- 

 curial ointment, J^oz.; spermaceti oinimenf. loz.; mix and rub 

 a little well in the affected teats with gentle friction. Let us know 

 results. 



W. C. S., Skowlegan, Me.— 1 I have a red Irish setter pup, 8mos. 

 old, that has been troubled with some kind of red spots around his 

 head and neck, and after afpw days they would appear to have 

 broken and discharged ma'ter, as the hair will be all stuck to- 

 gf^ther. I have washed them with sulphur so^p two or three 

 times a day, and put on carbolated vaseline at first. For 

 the last week I have washed them the same as before, but used 

 Glover's mange cure. It has healed them up prettv well, but when 

 I am coming to is, that when my dog goes toshal^ehis head he does 

 it very slow, and acts as if it hurt him considerably. I am afraid 

 it is something on the inside. 3. Where ran I obtain two or 

 three pedigree blanks? Ans. Tbe dog may shake himself care- 

 fully on af count of the sores, or he may have canker in the ear. 

 Examine carefully, and if the pars discharge or are inflamed, 

 apply the same treatment as given in the answer foP. M. S. in 

 this issue. 3. We can supply them, price 25c. per dozen forms. 



F. M. S., Pottsville, Pi.— Can yon inform me what to do for my 

 doe-, who has, I believe, canlier in t;he ear. He shakes his hfad 

 and scratches his ear which is red and hot. When I pat him on 

 the head he whines. He is a pointer, one of the l-est bunting ''ogs 

 I know, and I want lo cure him if possible. Ans. First syringe 

 the ear carefully with warm watprau<l clean the flap cf the ear 

 with castile soap and water. Syringe several limes a day and 

 afterwards drop two or three drops of the following mixture in 

 the ear: 



Acid carbolici 3 ss 



Glyceric a? ? ss 



Aqua I i jss 



See that ibe mixture is warmed slightly before usii g. If tlie jr- 

 flammation is confined to the flap of the ear, kef p the member 

 clean and apply three times a day: 



Acid carbolici i i 



Glycerin 46. ji 



with a sponge or soft rag. After s^iriging keep the dog in the 

 kennel or house for a short time and out of draughts.
